¹It happened when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;

¹Deviateho roku Cedekiáša, judského kráľa, desiateho mesiaca prišiel Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, i všetko jeho vojsko proti Jeruzalemu a obľahli ho.

²in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city),

²Jedenásteho roku Cedekiáša, štvrtého mesiaca, deviateho dňa toho istého mesiaca bolo prelomené mesto.

³that all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.

³A vošly všetky kniežatá babylonského kráľa a posadily sa v prostrednej bráne: Nergal-šarecer, Samgarnebú, Sarsechim, náčelník dvoraninov, Nergal-šarecer, náčelník mágov a všetky ostatné kniežatá babylonského kráľa.

⁴It happened that, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.

⁴A stalo sa, keď ich uvidel Cedekiáš, judský kráľ, i všetci bojovní mužovia, že utiekli a vyšli vnoci z mesta cestou zahrady kráľovej, bránou medzi dvoma murami. A vyšiel cestou Jordánskej roviny.

⁵But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.

⁵Ale ich prenasledovalo vojsko Chaldejov a dostihli Cedekiáša na rovinách Jericha a vzali ho a priviedli ho k Nabuchodonozorovi, babylonskému kráľovi, hore do Ribly v zemi Chamata, a tam ho súdil.

⁶Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.

⁶A babylonský kráľ pobil synov Cedekiášových v Rible pred jeho očima, i všetkých popredných Júdových pobil babylonský kráľ.

⁷Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

⁷A oči Cedekiášove oslepil a poviazal ho dvoma medenými reťazami, aby ho odviedol do Babylona.

⁸The Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

⁸A Chaldeji spálili dom kráľov ako i domy ľudu ohňom a múry Jeruzalema rozborili.

⁹Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the residue of the people who remained.

⁹A ostatok ľudu, ktorý bol pozostal v meste, i prebehlých, ktorí boli prebehli k nemu, jako aj iný ostatok ľudu, ktorí boli pozostali, prestehoval Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, do Babylona.

¹⁰But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

¹⁰A z ľudu tých chudobných, ktorí nemali ničoho, ponechal Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, v zemi Júdovej a dal im vinice a role toho dňa.

¹¹Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,

¹¹A Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, prikázal Nebuzaradánovi, veliteľovi kráľovskej stráže, o Jeremiášovi a povedal:

¹²Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall tell you.

¹²Vezmi ho a obráť na neho svoje oči a neurob mu ničoho zlého, ale jako ti bude hovoriť, tak s ním nalož.

¹³So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;

¹³A tak poslal Nebuzaradán, veliteľ kráľovskej stráže, a Nebušazban, náčelník dvoraninov, a Nergal-šarecer, náčelník mágov, a všetci velitelia babylonského kráľa

¹⁴they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people.

¹⁴a tedy poslali a vzali Jeremiáša zo dvora stráže a oddali ho Gedaliášovi, synovi Achikáma, syna Šafánovho, aby ho vyviedol von do domu. A tak býval medzi ľudom.

¹⁵Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,

¹⁵A k Jeremiášovi stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo, keď bol zatvorený vo dvore stráže, povediac:

¹⁶Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before you in that day.

¹⁶Iď a povieš Ethiopovi Ebed-melechovi: Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, Bôh Izraelov: Hľa, uvediem svoje slová na toto mesto na zlé a nie na dobré, a budú sa diať pred tvojou tvárou toho dňa.

¹⁷But I will deliver you in that day, says Yahweh; and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.

¹⁷Ale ťa vytrhnem toho dňa, hovorí Hospodin, a nebudeš vydaný do ruky mužov, ktorých tvári sa bojíš.

¹⁸For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life shall be for a prey to you; because you have put your trust in me, says Yahweh.

¹⁸Lebo istotne ťa vyslobodím, a nepadneš od meča, a bude ti tvoja duša za korisť, pretože si sa nadejal na mňa, hovorí Hospodin.
